Gonegold.com statement of something big?

Kollos · 03-13-2002, 04:50 AM

Gonegold.com has a report from Joe S. that another patch will be out this week and "Very interesting news in next 1-2 weeks".
Any ideas?

BTW I LOVE this game.

If I had to guess, it's probably the release of STB 2003, but I really have no information to back it up.

Two things on the Gone Gold blurb. One, no, I am not the developer of Out of the Park Baseball (he he)

Two, the something big news has nothing to do with STB.

Stay tuned!!!!

You're going to be the "Official Simulator of Major League Baseball"?

I'm going to take a comment posted by Joe in another thread concerning Baseball For Windows by speculating that a massive update for the game will be available with an audio componet....Jon Miller and Joe Morgan will now call your games!...Wow!...wonder what type of leaf is in my cigar this morning to dream that one up!

Scott Vibert · 03-13-2002, 07:12 AM

STB is Season Ticket Baseball, very similar to OOTP only on CD and distributed through Wizard Works/Infogrames (whatever they are now after the merger).

MLBPA and MLB liscencing is a waste and forces you to leave the cash world for the points world. With the amount of people around working on real roster patches and logos, the MLB and MLBPA liscencing are to be blunt: a waste for any game with a decent editor. All they offer is the right to use names and logos/images officially within the game, thanks to the user community this is (IMO) a waste (plus not something I'd ever use so I wouldn't find the extra cost necessary).

I'm hoping its something else... maybe Markus has an announcement about the Mac port of OOTP, or maybe a linux port or something of that nature.

Or perhaps its something different all together....

mad0die · 03-13-2002, 07:25 AM

Anyone else notice that the OOTP4 link on the gonegold.com site goes to <a href="http://www.dungeonsiege.com?" target="_blank">www.dungeonsiege.com?</a> Doh!

Dxgarnett · 03-13-2002, 07:35 AM

OOTP 4's coming out for Playstation 2,maybe!?

I don't think that's likely without the MLB or MLBPA liscences.. (console games would almost certainly require these, they rely more on style than substance)

I agree 110%.

That would be my second guess - the Mac port is more likely IMO.
